In Need of a Title

Snow: I got bored and started to type and the next thing I know I have this chapter…But getting up this morning gave me some extra time and well I got this whole chapter done in one day. Go me. Okay less than 24 hours…it’s almost 2 am on 6-22-07 and I’m beat.



I do not own Yu Yu Hakasho or Inuyasha.

First the other lords than Miroku and Inuyasha than Sango, one by one the guest left the Western Estate and everything went back to the way it was before. Hiei would read in the library as Rin did her studies not even ten feet away. At noon Sesshomaru would join them for lunch wither it would be outside or in was up to the weather. In the afternoon Hiei would watch on as Rin played in the garden or her room, also depending on the weather.



Today it was raining, for the fourth day in a row. The water poured from the skies and it wasn’t something that anyone should be out in yet Rin was staring out the window wishing she wasn’t in her room forced to stay indoors for the day. “Hiei-san, do you think it will be dry enough to go out tomorrow?”



“I do not know.” Hiei answered as he flipped the page of his book. He really wasn’t looking for a way to get home any more. It was pointless. Even if he found a way home it wouldn’t do him any good. He was mated to Sesshomaru and well life here was grand. He had his place in Sesshomaru’s bed and Rin’s heart. The girl had been treating him like a member of her family since the first day and now she treated him as the second father that in some circles he would be.



“Oh I hope so,” the girl turned back to the table she was sitting at. There was a stack of parchment, an ink reserve, and a brush. She had been drawing but it wasn’t as pretty as it would have been in color. “Hiei, how do you make colored ink?” She asked the youkai.



Hiei narrowed his eyes trying to think. “I’m not an artist, so I don’t know. We can buy some when the rain lets up though.”



Rin sighed as she tried not to be too upset. She wanted to paint with bright beautiful colors on such a dreary day. “Okay.” She said, clearly having picked up the word from the miko. Hiei could tell the girl clearly wasn’t all that happy with the answer. He stood up and walked to the door.



“Do not leave your room,” was the only thing he said before going to find Jakin. The toad was sitting down working on some paper work or something when Hiei walked up to him.



“Hiei-sama, how may I be of service?” Jakin asked his lord’s new mate.



“You are to watch Rin until I return. It shouldn’t be long. Go there now.” Hiei said with his emotionless, I’ll take only yes sir as an answer voice. The toad nodded his head and ran off to watch the girl. Hiei went to Sesshomaru’s office.



Sesshomaru was sitting down reading a report from Chanas and Sisuri when Hiei walked into his office. “Fire-fly what’s the matter?”



“I require colored inks for Rin.” Hiei said to his mate. “The girl isn’t taking to being indoors for days on in.”



Sesshomaru rose from his spot at his desk and walked over to Hiei wrapping his lover and mate in his arms. “Is there anything else you require?” Sesshomaru asked in the shorter man’s ear before kissing it.



“Nothing else for the child but for myself I require a long night alone with my mate.” Hiei said the words still so new on his tongue.



“Well both of you shall get what you require,” Sesshomaru said pulling way from Hiei to call in a servant. “You will send some one to fetch colored ink, all the different colors that is made. Go,” the woman bowed to them ran off to do as ordered.



Hiei smirked as Sesshomaru pulled him back into his arms then into his lap. “Tell me something. In the future do you order around the help?”



Hiei shook his head. “I didn’t spend much time in the castle at the end. After the tournament got started I started to do patrols around the boarder. I lost my position but not my title. Everyone knew who I was and what I could do. Like all the other masters of the Dragon of the Darkness Flame, I let it consume me and that let me keep it’s power.” Hiei paused as Sesshomaru’s fingers started to play with his side. “I should be getting back.”



“Yes, but you sent Jakin to watch Rin,” Sesshomaru said more than asked. With Hiei’s nod, he pushed the smaller demon’s tunic up and started to replay their nightly activities right there on his desk.

Rin was smiling at her work. The once green toad now had many different black designs on him. Hiei would never allow her to paint him but Jakin, well Jakin had no say in the matter. He looked so much better with the pretty flowers and cute pictures on his person. Jakin clearly wasn’t happy with his new look but from his place tied up and gagged at the table he couldn’t do much about it. It would take forever to wash the ink off of him. He would be the laughing stock among the servants here at the castle, but he had been since Rin first walked into the castle. A lowly human treated like the heir to the throne and in many ways she was. Sesshomaru had already drawn up the paperwork and Bufan had agreed to support the decision when it came to the rest of the taiyoukai.



Rin’s future self was laughing her ass off in the back of the girl’s mind. She was dressed in her normal kimono but this time it had the crest of the Eastern Lands on the left side over her heart. Rin pulled back in my mind and questioned her about the crest. “Oh it was a gift from some one close to us. He thought we should have it.”



“And why have you’ve been gone so long?” Rin asked her small fist on her hips.



Matching the pose, the girl’s future self replied, “I have a life too.”



Rin just stuck her tongue out at the older version of herself. “Yeah well don’t go screwing around with Bufan until he bites you.” They both started to laugh.



“I wonder what he would do if you told him that you were going to mate him in the future? Probably the same thing he told me when we mated. He knew it from the first time he saw me. He could feel his soul pull toward ours.” The older Rin said to her younger self. “Well what have you’ve been doing in my absence?”



Rin smiled and showed her older self her master piece before going on to tell her everything that had happened since they last spoke.

Hiei walked into Rin’s room with several jars of colored ink. He and Sesshomaru were giving each other love nips after their quickie on Sesshomaru’s deck when a servant came in with the jars of ink. Hiei kissed his mate one last time and headed to the young girl’s room. The moment he walked in he could tell that her future was there as well. “Hello, ladies.” Hiei said setting the set of inks down on the table. “I see you painted Jakin, Rin. Now you have colored inks to do it as well.”



The girl jumped up and opened a bit of blue ink. She smirked at the toad and soon started to color in her black and white designs. The toad didn’t even struggle after one glare from Hiei. The Forbidden Child watched on as the young girl started to doodle on the toad.



‘Hiei-sensei,’ a voice said in Hiei’s mind.



‘So you are back,’ was his simple greeting.



‘Yes and I found a way for you to get back home. There will be a portal on the day you’re were…will be born,’ the young woman that was Rin’s future said to him. ‘You have to take it. There can’t be two of you at once.’



‘Yet you do it?’



‘I’m different. Rin and I were changed by the Tenseiga. A deity of fate now guides us and well we’re allowed this connection,’ the girl had an answer for everything it seemed.



‘How long do I have?’ Hiei asked not wanting to leave the life he now had.



‘You have three weeks. If I were you I would just enjoy the time you have left. Sesshomaru will have to understand.’ The woman faded clearly going back to Rin to help her paint to toad demon.



Hiei stood up completely in shock. He was just settling into this life style, he was mated and happy about it and he was going to have to leave it all and return home. Hiei mentally shook his head. No, he would be leaving home not returning to it. Making sure that Jakin knew not to leave Hiei left the room and headed to Sesshomaru’s study.

Bufan hadn’t left the Western Estate. It was like his second home and that was because his soul mate was here, even if she was in the body of a ten year old human. That was going to led to one hell of a good fight with Sesshomaru when the time finally came. That is if Sesshomaru didn’t return to the future with Hiei. Hiei was good for the inu in the dragon’s personal view. The old grouch was more pleasant but that could be just because he was finally getting some on a regular bases.



The old dragon set down under a tree as the rain keep up for the fourth night in a row. If it didn’t let up soon some of the villages in the lower lands would have to worry about flooding. Shaking his head he held his hand out to catch some of the droplets. Narrowing his eyes me made the water in his hand move slightly. Shaking his head he used his dominate power and caused the water to bubble, boiling in his palm the heat didn’t bother him one bit.



Standing up he pulled his hood back over his head and walked back into the castle. He wasn’t dripping after a short blast of his ki. His room was not far from the entry hall. He was headed there when he felt something he couldn’t explain. Soon he found himself in Rin’s room watching the girl paint the ugly toad Sesshomaru keep around for seemly no reason. Smiling he watched on as the young girl didn’t seem to know he was there. She finished up a section of the toad and turned to him. “Bufan-sama, how are you today?”



“I’m doing well Rin-chan. How are you? It looks like you’re having fun with our little toad friend.”



“He’s not a friend, Bufan-sama.” Rin said before sticking her tongue out at the toad. “I’d be much better if it would stop raining and I got to go outside tomorrow afternoon.”



“I wish I could help little one.” Bufan said before patting her head. “He looks pretty. You do know that that stains flesh right?”



“Yep, I thought he would look pretty longer that way.” Rin said smirking up to the Dragon Lord of the East. Jakin didn’t look as happy about that statement as the girl did.



--



The rain let up. There was minor flooding in the lowest village in the Western Lands but it was taken care of quickly. Hiei and Sesshomaru had spent much of their time coped up together. Sesshomaru would be walking down a hallway and Hiei would lore him back to their bed, if not the other way around. Being newly mated was clearly showing in the way the two went at it like kitsune during mating season. (1)



Rin and Bufan also were spending a lot of time together. He would help her with her studies or her art work and when the rain finally stop it was him that took her outside not Hiei. Rin was almost always by his side since Hiei and Sesshomaru were always with each other. Rin would talk for hours and make him rings out of the grass, ferns, and firs that were growing as the season changed and Bufan would just watch on as the girl played her childhood away.

Hiei was pacing in his and Sesshomaru’s chamber. He had less than two weeks before his birth day and the time he was to leave the feudal area to return the one he was from. The inu lord walked in and started to undress. “Sesshomaru, I have something to tell you.”



The taiyoukai paused and pulled his robe back over his shoulder. “What is it, Hiei?”



“In less than two weeks will be my birth-day,” Hiei started.



“Than we shall throw a party.” Sesshomaru said pulling his shorter lover to him.



“Sesshomaru, it will be the same day that I was born. As in the fates will force me to leave,” Hiei said to his lover and mate.



“Then I’m going with you.”



End Chapter



1. In Japanese lore kitsune are very sexual. As in they need sex to survive.
